The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library has the African American Gateway, listing websites and bibliographies for African American Research. Here is their page for Connecticut: http://www.genealogycenter.info/africanamerican/results_afram.php?subject=CT

The Indian and Colonial Research Center in Mystic, CT had a number of African American manuscripts and documents, including a nice book with details of of all of the black soldiers from CT with pensions after the Revolutionary War. I hadn't see those books anywhere else. Wasn't really looking, but noticed them in passing.

They are closed at the moment, and their collections not available due to flood and storm damage from recent years, but I hope they will reopen this spring.

The Indian and Colonial Research Center is open once more!: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:a.m. to 4 p.m..They now have a dandy Facebook Page that you may now access with lots of good information on what the Center has to offer.
